His HP is tied with many for the best, his Strength is tied with many for second best, Skill is the second worst, Speed is the worst, and Luck is the worst. His Defense however is the highest. Skill isn’t a huge problem because he gets 9 more on promotion, but getting there is a problem. He’ll be durable with a high HP and Defense growth, but will not dodge well, and until promotion will have trouble hitting. Lex can’t pass down anything, so until Delmud can buy something, he’ll be stuck with an Iron Sword, severely hurting his combat ability.

This is similar to what happens with Aideen, although much better. Delmud will still have a decent Strength growth (although comparatively low) thanks to Hezul blood, and with the Magic boost, he can deal competent damage with a magic sword. His Skill will be as bad as with Lex, but Speed will be so much better to the point that it’s second only to Levin. Luck is higher, although still low, and Defense will be the worst possible. With Aideen pairing her with Azel traded Lester for Lana, but here Delmud doesn’t suffer nearly as much as Lester did, thanks to magic swords. This means that Delmud can deal competent two range damage with a sword, something not many others can do. On top of that, once Azel promotes, he can use up to B rank swords, allowing some inheritance. Unfortunately this means blades can’t be inherited, but magic swords can. While this seems great, unfortunately, he only has a maximum Magic stat of 15, severely limiting the damage he can do with magic swords.

This is great for Nanna. Her HP will be low, but not as low as many others, her Strength will still be decent, but her Magic is what is truly great. She’ll have the highest possible Magic growth meaning she can reliably heal on a horse. Her Skill will be average, her Speed will be second best, while her Luck (comparatively) and Defense will be bad. She can dodge reliably, and heal from horseback, which alone is great. This makes her excellent because she can fight with a magic sword, and heal, which is a huge benefit.

Compared to Lex this gives slightly less HP and Strength, much less Defense, and significantly better Speed, Skill, and Luck. The Skill difference is nice because it will make getting Delmud to promotion easier because he won’t have problems hitting. But once again, thanks to Hezul blood, Delmud’s Strength will never be bad. Delmud will dodge more often, but upon being hit will take more damage meaning durability is roughly the same. I would say this is superior to Lex because he won’t have hit problems before or after promotion, and he can dodge more easily. He may be hit harder, but it’s not like he can’t take a hit, and it will be rather infrequent. But this gives very well rounded stats meaning Delmud will not falter. Unfortunately lack of inheritance hurts a lot since all Delmud will have for a while is an Iron Sword, meaning he can’t fight well for a while.

Nanna will have the lowest Strength possible from a non-mage father, her HP will be third lowest, and her Defense will be second worst. But there are some positives. Her Magic will be tied with many for the highest without a mage for a father; she’ll have the best possible Luck, average Speed, and high Skill. The magic difference is a small amount, but it does help her heal. Like Delmud she’ll be much dodgier, but at the same time it will hurt much more should a hit connect. This makes Nanna well rounded which is nice, but other pairings make her a better healer, which is likely going to become her purpose. A huge bonus is a conversation that Fin can have with Fin!Nanna that boosts her Speed by 5, although she won’t have bad Speed, but it certainly helps her dodging ability. This is still inferior to Azel however, because she can’t heal nearly as well as Azel!Nanna.

Standard growth for Lachesis, and no conversations to speed things along. Fin should be charging into battle, but Lachesis will be further behind both because she is inferior for fighting and her lower move meaning Fin will be held back. The other problem is that Lachesis joins in Chapter 2 and Fin will be gone by the end of Chapter 3 meaning there really isn’t any time for them to apart. This is not easy at all.

There’s no conversation which boosts her Speed, so take not of that. Compared to Fin, the HP and Strength gap is even smaller than will Delmud, but the Luck growth is smaller, although still large. Take into account that Nanna loses Magic (although a small amount), and the conversation to boost her Speed, she will be less dodgy, and an inferior healer. This is much worse than Fin.

They have a standard love growth, but there is a conversation that gets them 100 points closer (it even boosts Lachesis’s stats). Beowulf should probably be charging ahead so he will be hindered, but unlike Fin, they have the rest of the generation and a conversation on their side. Once Lachesis promotes she can keep up with him, but that will take a while.

This gives similar growths to Azel, only with lower Speed, and much higher Luck. Avoid will be about even, but Delmud would be better off with a higher Speed stat. Once Delmud promotes he can fix his somewhat low Skill problems. Delmud will inherit major Blaggi blood and the Valkyrie Staff, but will have no use for it. The Blaggi blood does give him high Resistance, but Azel gives better stats. The other reason is that Claude will not pass anything down of value. Eventually Delmud will be able to fight somewhat well with either a standard or magic sword, but Azel allows him to do so much better, with inheritance.

I would say this is even better than Fin with the conversation, although about even with Azel. Her Magic growth will be less, as will her Speed, but her Luck will be higher, and so will her Resistance. She can dodge somewhat well with her Luck, but Speed would be better. The biggest attraction is that the Blaggi blood enables her to use B rank staffs meaning she can use Libro, Recover, or Rest. Libro is the most notable because with her high move, and the long range of Libro, she can heal over a large radius. Once Lachesis promotes, she can use up to A rank staffs, meaning the aforementioned staffs can be inherited. I’ll give this as good a rank as Azel, although for different reasoning.

His HP is tied with many other Delumds for the best, his Strength is tied with many for second best, Skill is the second worst, Speed is the worst, and Luck is the worst. His Defense however is the highest. Skill isn’t a huge problem because he gets 9 more on promotion, but getting there is a problem. He’ll be durable with a high HP and Defense growth, but will not dodge well, and until promotion will have trouble hitting. Lex can’t pass down anything, so until Delmud can buy something, he’ll be stuck with an Iron Sword, severely hurting his combat ability.

Same weaknesses and strengths as Delmud, except there is a pairing that gives more HP. Her Magic will be very bad (although that is common to Nanna) meaning she’ll barely be able to heal. She can take a couple of hits, but she’s probably better off trying to dodge with other pairings.

Rating: 2/10

Skills

Lachesis passes down Charisma which makes the kids by default nice to have around. I can’t rank that though because every Delmud and Nanna will have it. Lex will pass down Elite and Ambush. Elite will certainly help Delmud reach promotion so he can up his Skill, while Nanna can level faster. Ambush is a nice bonus, and they will reach low HP, so it helps. Unfortunately there’s no Pursuit involved, and although Delmud gets Continue on promotion, he won’t be able to kill reliably.

Rating: 6/10

Difficulty to acquire

Lachesis starts off with a measly 6 move, while Lex is off charging into battle. They have an average (for Lachesis) growth meaning it will take a while before they’re lovers. Lex will be severely hindered, and by the time Lachesis promotes to 9 move, it won’t matter because they’ll likely be paired already. There are also no conversations to speed things along.

Rating: 1/10 (I’m giving a 1 instead of a 0 because Fin is even harder)

Overall

Overall a rather lousy pairing. It gives the kids good Defense and HP, but it sacrifices so much more. Without Pursuit not much damage will be done, and it is not easy to get the two together.

Rating: 3/10 (Defense is nice as is Elite, but there isn’t much else to say)

This is similar to what happens with Aideen, although to better effect. Delmud will still have a decent Strength growth (although relatively low) thanks to Hezul blood, and with the Magic boost, he can deal competent damage with a magic sword. His Skill will be as bad as with Lex, but Speed will be so much better to the point that it’s second only to Levin. Luck is higher, although still low, and Defense will be the worst possible. With Aideen, pairing her with Azel traded Lester for Lana, but here Delmud doesn’t suffer nearly as much as Lester did, thanks to magic swords. This means that Delmud can deal competent two range damage with a sword, something not many others can do. On top of that, once Azel promotes, he can use up to B rank swords, allowing some inheritance. Unfortunately this means blades can’t be inherited, but magic swords can. While this seems great, unfortunately, he only has a maximum Magic stat of 15, severely limiting the damage he can do with magic swords.

Skills Charisma, Pursuit

This is great for Nanna. Her HP will be low, but not as low as many others, her Strength will still be decent, but her Magic is what is truly great. She’ll have the highest possible Magic growth meaning she can reliably heal on a horse. Her Skill will be average, her Speed will be second best, while her Luck and Defense will be (relatively) bad. She can dodge reliably, and heal from horseback, which alone is great. This makes her excellent because she can fight with a magic sword, and heal, which is a huge benefit.

Rating: 10/10

Skills

Azel gives Pursuit which is the most important skill in the game. With their balanced Strength and Magic growth, the kids can reliably kill with Pursuit. The only complaint is that other pairings give Pursuit and more.

Rating: 8/10

Difficulty to acquire

An average love growth with no conversations. The good news is that both parents have the same move, and once they both promote they will have the same move again. Given that Azel will be attacking from afar, while Lachesis is either attacking up close or healing, keeping the two together won’t be a problem. Azel will probably promote slightly sooner than Lachesis, but he can attack than move back to her side. Once they both promote keeping the two together won’t be a problem, although by that point they are likely together.

Rating: 9/10

Overall

Overall this is great. It greatly helps Nanna without hurting Delmud. Thanks to magic sword access neither child will have any problems fighting, and with Pursuit, killing. This isn’t a hard pairing to acquire either so there’s not much to complain about.

The Skill difference is nice because it will make getting Delmud to promotion easier because he won’t have problems hitting. But once again, thanks to Hezul blood, Delmud’s Strength will never be bad. Delmud will dodge more often, but upon being hit will take more damage meaning durability is roughly the same. I would say this is superior to Lex because he won’t have hit problems before or after promotion, and he can dodge more easily. He may be hit harder, but it’s not like he can’t take a hit, and it will be rather infrequent. This pairing gives very well rounded stats meaning Delmud will not falter. Unfortunately lack of inheritance hurts a lot since all Delmud will have for a while is an Iron Sword, meaning he can’t fight well for a while.

Nanna will have the lowest Strength possible from a non-mage father, her HP will be third lowest, and her Defense will be second worst. But there are some positives. Her Magic will be tied with many for the highest without a mage for a father; she’ll have the best possible Luck, average Speed, and high Skill. The magic difference is a small amount, but it does help her heal. Like Delmud she’ll be much dodgier, but at the same time it will hurt much more should a hit connect. This makes Nanna well rounded, which is nice, but other pairings make her a better healer, which is likely going to become her purpose. A huge bonus is that Fin has a special conversation with Nanna, as her father, that boosts her Speed by 5, although she won’t have bad Speed, but it certainly helps her dodging ability. This is still inferior to Azel however, because she can’t heal nearly as well as Azel!Nanna.

Rating: 8/10

Skills

Here’s where the pairing really shines though. Pursuit is given by Fin meaning that killing won’t be a problem. Add in Prayer and it gets even better. With Prayer should the kids get hit, there will be an opportunity to heal them.

Rating: 10/10

Difficulty to acquire

Standard growth for Lachesis, and no conversations to speed things along. Fin should be charging into battle, but Lachesis will be further behind both because she is inferior at fighting and her lower move meaning Fin will be held back. The other problem is that Lachesis joins in Chapter 2 and Fin will be gone by the end of Chapter 3 meaning there really isn’t any time for them to apart. This is not easy at all.

Rating: 0/10

Overall

Overall this is better than Lex. Delmud and Nanna will be better statistically with much better skills. It is hard to get the two together though, so it will take effort. This gives a well-rounded Delmud, with few weaknesses, but simultaneously, few strengths.

Rating: 7/10 (Brought down by the steep difficulty in acquisition)

Compared to Fin, Delmud gets 10 more HP and Strength growth in exchange for 30 less Luck. It’s a tough call to make which is better, but I would say Fin since Fin!Delmud will not have bad Strength or HP, but the Luck difference is noticeable. However, any sword Beowulf can use Delmud can meaning full inheritance. That is what puts it over Fin.

Unlike with Fin, there’s no conversation that boosts her Speed, so take note of that. Compared to Fin, the HP and Strength gap is even smaller than in Delmud's case, but the Luck growth is smaller, although still large. Take into account that Nanna loses Magic (although a small amount), and no conversation to boost her Speed, she will be less dodgy, and an inferior healer. This is much worse than Fin.

Rating: 3/10

Skills

Like Fin, Beowulf gives Pursuit, but instead of Prayer he gives Charge. Charge is nice because it means that with the increased Strength, the kids can kill more easily. Prayer is better for Nanna than Charge, but Charge is more effective for Delmud so it evens out.

Rating: 10/10

Difficulty to acquire

They have a standard love growth, but there is a conversation that gets them 100 points closer (it even boosts Lachesis’s stats). Beowulf should probably be charging ahead so he will be hindered, but unlike Fin, they have the rest of the generation and a conversation on their side. Once Lachesis promotes she can keep up with him, but that will take a while.

Rating: 6/10 (Everything other than Beowulf being hindered until Lachesis promotes is on their side)

Overall

Overall this is better than Fin. Fin may provide better stats, but the skills are equally useful, the pairing is significantly easier to acquire, and Delmud gets full inheritance. Delmud will be able to deal more damage early on though thanks to blade inheritance, so this is slightly better.

This gives similar growths to Azel, only with lower Speed, and much higher Luck. Avoid will be about even, but Delmud would be better off with a higher Speed stat. Once Delmud promotes he can fix his somewhat low Skill problems. Delmud will inherit major Blaggi blood and the Valkyrie Staff, but will have no use for it. The Blaggi blood does give him high Resistance, but Azel gives better stats. Another problem is that Claude will not pass down anything of value. Eventually Delmud will be able to fight somewhat well with either a standard or magic sword, but Azel allows him to do so much better, with inheritance.

I would say this is even better than Fin, even factoring in their special conversation, but about even with Azel. Her Magic growth will be less, as will her Speed, but her Luck will be higher, and so will her Resistance. She can dodge somewhat well with her Luck, but Speed would be better. The biggest attraction is that the Blaggi blood enables her to use B rank staffs meaning she can use Libro, Recover, or Rest. Libro is the most notable because with her high move, and the long range of Libro, she can heal over a large radius. Once Lachesis promotes, she can use up to A rank staffs, meaning the aforementioned staffs can be inherited. I’ll give this as good a rank as Azel, although for different reasoning.

Rating: 10/10

Skills

Claude gives nothing. Absolutely nothing. Once again, Azel not only gives Delmud superior stats, but Delmud can double and kill more easily with Pursuit.

Rating: 0/10

Difficulty to acquire

This is somewhat inverse to other Lachesis’s other pairings. Lachesis will likely be promoted by Claude’s arrival, meaning that she will be held back, not Claude. There are no conversations to speed up their growth, but for whatever the reason, Claude has an additional point gain per turn compared to every other pairing for Lachesis, making this slightly faster.

Rating: 5/10 (Lachesis will be held back)

Overall

Overall this is inferior to Azel, Fin, and Beowulf, although superior to Lex. It provides an absolutely great Nanna (for healing) but severely compromises their fighting ability. Lex is only worse because he doesn’t help Nanna out nearly as much.
